How much has the wiiU improved since launch?

I looked into the wiiU at launch and well I wasn't even close to impressed, it had a bunch of last gen games all of which that I was interested in I already had, it had no account or back up system so I'd never buy anything online not to mention it didn't even come with a decent harddrive, all of Nintendo games were being delayed, it was behind ps3/360 feature wise and didn't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon, hardware was weak (I know this won't improve) so I don't really expect it to have decent third party support ever and tablet controller just seems like a waste of money.

But anyways now that it's been like a year I'm wondering how it's doing now, any noteworthy games come out, did Nintendo get it's online network and wiiU's features up to par ect.---psn: Stalemate666

Not much. But it'll start to pick up next month.---Welcome to Gamefaqs, where my opinion is wrong, and your opinion is right.

The UI was sped up a bit and there will be another big update between September-October, and there's a big 1st party release every month this year starting in August with Pikmin 3, followed by the Wonderful 101 in september, Wind Waker HD in october, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze in september, and Super Mario 3D World in december.

Wii U hasn't been out a year. It's closer to half a year than a full year.

Anyhow, no it doesn't have a lot of games and it doesn't have a very active online presence. Unless you count the Miiverse. The MiiVerse is VERY active, and quite unique and cool.

Um, I think like 4 games came out. Lulz

You couldn't be more misinformed. Here are some of the games (from http://www.metacritic.com/browse/games/score/metascore/all/wii-u?view=condensed&sort=desc)
